Desmond Mitchell, 23, was killed two months ago when he was thrown from his motorcycle.

David Kittner, 81, the driver who police said pulled in front of Mitchell, then left the scene, will be in court Thursday for his preliminary hearing.

A piece of Vera Mitchell’s heart was taken when her son Desmond Mitchell was killed nearly two months ago.

“I saw him every night before he went to work saw him every morning when he got off work,” she said.

She hasn't seen him since March 11, when police said Kittner pulled out of the Valley Station Shopping Center in front of Mitchell's motorcycle on Dixie Highway, then left the scene.

“He stood there and he looked at him for 10 minutes. (He) never bent down to see if he was all right. It is like he didn’t care,” Vera Mitchell said

Desmond Mitchell's loved ones shared a surveillance video with WLKY.

It shows Kittner's SUV pull in front of Mitchell's motorcycle, causing him to crash. Kittner pulled his SUV into a business parking lot across the street and got out. Then several minutes later, he got back behind the wheel and leaves just as police arrive.

"Why didn’t he stay? Because he was there. He got out of his vehicle, why didn’t he stay?" Desmond Mitchell’s father, James Mitchell, asked.

That is the question loved ones want Kittner to answer.

They made pleas to the public on WLKY, asking the driver come forward. A week after the crash, Kittner turned himself in, police said.

The Mitchell family faced Kittner for the first time in court last month.

“I was hoping he would stand there and tell the truth of what happened and show some kind of remorse, but he didn’t,” Vera Mitchell said. “He never looked at us, he never looked at us."

Kittner has been charged with leaving the scene of an accident without rendering aid.

WLKY spoke with his attorney, Kevin Glogower, Friday afternoon. He declined to comment on the case.
